Paderborn University invites all retired professors to the "Emeriti Meeting" on Friday, 24 May, where they can find out the latest news on current topics at the university and exchange ideas with former colleagues. The meeting starts at 2 pm in room B3.231 (Senate meeting room). Registrations are possible at any time by e-mail to Alexandra Dickhoff.
After a welcome address by Prof Dr Volker Peckhaus, the Presidential Board's representative for alumni affairs, Dr Christof Eigner, Head of Laboratories and Scientific Infrastructure at the Institute of Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS), will give a talk on "A journey into the quantum world". In it, he will explain how quantum technologies are finding their way into our everyday lives. A modern research building with a clean room for the production of quantum devices and highly specialised quantum optics laboratories for an international team of scientists in physics, electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics is currently being built on the campus. Prof Dr René Fahr, Vice President for Knowledge and Technology Transfer, will also give an outlook on future projects at the university.
Following the "Emeriti Meeting", there will be an opportunity to take part in the rollout of the new electric racing car "PX424E" from the UPBracing team in the Audimax. At universities all over the world, teams of students build single-seater racing cars and compete at international level in the "Formula Student" design competition. Our university has also been involved in this endeavour since 2006. Last year, the group received the Alumni Award for "Outstanding Commitment" for their extraordinary efforts.
